This is an idea for a series I have in my head. The girls are an independently operating racing team in the outer rim planets. The Girl in the middle is the tough, ambitious no-nonsense pilot from a well bred family on a frontier colony. Her family was fairly well to do and respected at home but an accident took her parents from her a few years ago and she has no living relatives. Her father was always fond of watching the races and she discovered a love herself and eventually a natural talent as a pilot at an early age. After her folks passed she pulled her best friends with her into forming a team with her family's remaining fortune. The pilot believes strongly in honor and her family name and would do anything to make her parents proud (though they're passed on.) The girl on the right is human and an impressive mechanic. She has a penchant for cheap booze however and a bad habit of drinking way too much (LUSH) and can usually be found asleep in the garage or nursing a hangover. Regardless of her vices she is fiercely loyal and dependable to maintain or modify the racer and takes her job very seriously. She is often loud, callous, and flirty when she's drunk. The girl on the left is the youngest of the group and grew up with a bit of hero worship for the other girls. She is a master programmer and takes care of the electronic components, chassis designs, and engine upgrades for the mechanic as well as trouble-shooting the courses. She is very introverted and can hardly talk to others openly. When she sees a boy she likes she has a tendency to have wild fantasies and fall easily in love with them in her head. She then hacks into their computer and writes them a novel of a love letter. After she sends it she always gets crazy nervous and super shy, resulting in her crashing the boy's hard drive often with explosive results before they can read the letter. So teams around the girls tend to have inexplicable computer malfunctions. The team has been very successful in the local circuits but the pilot has her sights set on the professional Inner-World Grand Prix League. But usually only factory backed teams or extremely wealthy independents can race there.

So the story goes the girls, after struggling through the teething process of a newly founded team make a name for themselves locally. An old man sees one of their races in the outer rim. The race is a disaster and everything that could go wrong did (MURPHEY'S LAW) and while they pulled themselves together and finally finished, they were near last place. The old man approaches them after the race and congratulates them on finishing but it does little to lift their spirits. He pulls the pilot aside and makes her an offer. The old man is an ceramics baron and was once wealthy before his cold-blooded and heartless sons wrested control of his estate away from him and sold near everything. He tells her he has no money but what he does have is a standing invitation to host a team in the Inner World's Grand Prix from an old friend and he offers his garage and facilities to them. The pilot can't understand how he could possibly consider the after their horrible finish but he tells her it takes more than just one amazing race to make it as a team and what he saw convinced him they had more potential than any he had ever seen before. The pilot talks with her friends about it and while being a huge leap into the unknown they all agree they can't pass up this opportunity. So they take the old baron up on his offer.

The girls uproot and leave their old lives behind saying tearful farewells to friends and family. Finally in the inner worlds they set up shop in the new garage. The old baron tells them about their first race and becomes a bit of a mentor/coach. The briefing for the Grand Prix League starts and the girls are overwhelmed by the atmosphere and all the big names and fanfare involved however the pilot isn't intimidated. That night most of the teams go to a local bar by the track and the old baron suggests they go and find out what the other racers are really like.

phew...

SO FINALLY, we have this scene I set up in the picture that keeps this story sort of glued together in my head. The girls are at the bar and its filled with arrogance and pride and cruelty. The racers that seen as heroes on video are pompous and haughty and their crews brutish and crude. Some of the other mechanics leer at the girls, two get up and start toward the bar with the menacing swagger of predators sure of their prey...

Girl on right: Maybe this wasn't such a hot idea.... o.o;;;
Girl on left: ....... o.o;;;
Pilot in middle reaches her arms up while still keeping her legs casually crossed to encircle the girls. The glare she has says it all. THE GIRLS ARE WITH ME. And God help any who try...

Hopefully it doesn't sound like too dumb an idea. I don't have names for them yet but this slowly evolving mass of possibilities that might coalesce into something awesome someday...
